Thank you for considering Dear Registered Nurse or Nursing Student,  Nurses are essential to disaster response and recovery. As essential workers, nurses and future nurses are called upon to respond to disasters in their communities. Despite the clear need for nurse preparedness, nurses and future nurses may be under-prepared for disaster related events.   The purpose of this study is to evaluate nurse and nursing student disaster preparedness.   If you are English speaking, 18 years or older and a Registered Nurse or Nursing Student, we are asking you to participate in this study by completing a brief survey.  Institutional Review Board approval has been obtained.  Your input may contribute to a better understanding of disaster preparedness among nurses. The survey can be completed in 10-15 minutes or less.    You may access the anonymous survey at the following link: https://lnkd.in/eNJKjkiw

Disaster Nursing Disaster nursing plays a pivotal role in healthcare, ensuring timely and effective medical response during natural or man-made calamities. These specialized nurses are trained to provide care in chaotic environments, addressing both physical and psychological needs of victims. Key skills in disaster nursing include rapid assessment, triage, emergency care, and crisis communication. Their adaptability and resilience are vital in saving lives, mitigating trauma, and restoring public health systems. As disasters become more frequent, the demand for skilled disaster nurses continues to rise. Investing in disaster preparedness and specialized training is essential for a resilient healthcare system. #DisasterNursing #CrisisManagement #EmergencyCare #Healthcare #NursingProfession #PublicHealth #NurseLeadership #DisasterPreparedness #NursingSkills #HealthcareHeroes NNL ONE (Nursing Next Live Redefined) Society of Cardiac Nurses

This week is National Nurses Week. How can medical practices celebrate nurses? Here are four ways how, according to the NurseJournal: 1. Self Care: Nursing is a stressful job that can lead to nurse burnout. Give nurses the time and space needed to take care of themselves. 2. Recognition: Let nurses know that you appreciate them. Send them an appreciation text, phone call, online message, or gift. 3. Professional Development: Be understanding when nurses need time to study. You can also show support by donating to nursing schools or professional nursing organizations. 4. Community Engagement: Support the health and professional growth of nurses nationwide. When you support a nurse, you support an entire community. Thank nurses for all they do for patients, their families and our communities. They really make the difference! #NationalNursesWeek #NursesWeek

Nurses...Have you ever felt like you're just a character in a story someone else is writing?  Maybe it's one where you're always on the sidelines, always tired, always wishing for something different.  But here's the secret—they're your pages to turn. 📖💫 Leaving bedside nursing was the hardest decision I ever made.  It was also the best.  It taught me that change doesn’t just happen; we make it happen.  If your current chapter is full of endless shifts, physical exhaustion, and emotional toll—remember, you hold the pen. You're not just a nurse; you're a navigator of your destiny.  If you’re dreaming of a new path where you can thrive without the burnout, let this be your sign. You have the power to redefine your career and life. And you don't have to do it alone.   👩⚕️💪 Are you ready to start writing a new chapter where you are in control? If not, what's stopping you? #nurse #nurselife #lifeafternursing #midlifecareerchange #careertransition #newcareeropportunities #findyourpassion #midlifecareeradvice #careerchangehelp
